Kerry is a Licensed Master Social Worker. She earned her B.S. degree at Utah State University in Music Therapy. Her dual master’s degrees in Social Work and Public Administration are from Arizona State University. Kerry began her career as a Board-Certified Music Therapist where she provided home-based services for clients with developmental disabilities. She is also experienced working in the hospital setting with patients in the psychiatric, antepartum, NICU, pediatric and geriatric units. She enjoys using music as a modality in her work as a therapist as she believes music has the ability to reach the mind, body and spirit when other modalities cannot. Whether adult or adolescent, Kerry’s warm, kind and peaceful presence is inviting to her clients, where they find a natural connection.
For nearly a decade, Kerry has been a school social worker with elementary age children and adolescents with diverse backgrounds.
In addition, Kerry teaches Stress Management Tools (SWU 250) at Arizona State University through the School of Social Work.
Kerry’s preferred modalities are mindfulness, CBT, motivational interviewing, solution-focused brief therapy and when appropriate and invited, spirituality.
In her free time, Kerry enjoys traveling, gardening, and spending time with her family.
